Our topic for Autumn One is 'Hey Diddle Diddle' where the children will be learning Nursery Rhymes, some of them they already know but also learning new ones too. They will listen carefully and be able to sing these off by heart for themselves. They will also be acting them out using role play, characters and prompts in their provision.
